Pals Paper Arts is celebrating its 100th challenge this week! This week's challenge is a favorite technique: anything you enjoy doing like embossing, masking, water coloring - the options are endless! One of my favorite "techniques" for card making is using punches or the Big Shot to create images. For my card today I used a variety of punches and die cuts for the Big Shot.

Playing along with PPA this week offers one lucky individual and amazing amount of BLOG CANDY! Each member of the PPA Design Team is offering blog candy to one lucky individual who participates during this weeks PPA100 challenge. Rules are: you must post a project on the Pals Paper Arts site for the PPA100 challenge. You also must have a U.S. address. One lucky winner will be chosen at random and will receive all of the blog candy that the Design Team is giving away! How awesome is that!!! So join us this week and show us what your favorite technique is. I am giving away two stamp sets - the Itty Bitty Bits clear mount set and the Four Frames set in wood mount.

It is time to switch gears from the red and green holiday colors to a fresh color combination of Baja Breeze, Perfect Plum, and Pear Pizzazz. The first challenge for Pals Paper Arts is to make a project using the three colors I mentioned. How gorgeous are these colors - and to combine them...LOVE THEM!!! Join me, the rest of the Pals Paper Arts design team, and our celebrity guest artist Andrea Walford and play along with the PPA Color Challenge #76.

Challenges, like the Pals Paper Arts, can really give you some great ideas on design layouts, color schemes, and photo inspirations.

Try different techniques with ribbon. I used the new Baja Breeze Ribbon Seam Binding in a scrunched up fashion for my card today.
